We’re architects and builders. Creators and collaborators. Dreamers and doers. We’re for making architecture more sustainable for our planet, and more accessible for everyone.

The Studio

It's no wonder we have the most qualified team available, carefully handpicked to ensure an exceptional service. Our team is headed by qualified in-house architects and in-house interior designers who draw inspiration from our clients own authentic style. In addition we have a trusty drafting team and a confident estimating department. As a creative agency, we understand the goal is happy clients.

The Facility

Our modules are prefabricated in a highly controlled environment in Laverton, by strictly meticulous craftsmen and trades that excel at balancing beauty and technology. Our engaged clients are welcome to celebrate the attention to detail, with a scheduled walk-through of your very own property. We just love the excited feedback that comes from knowing you're only weeks away from installation!

Our Services

Our services are every bit as flexible as our modular designs. For our Residential projects, we offer an end-to-end service with your very own Project Manager and team, who will take the stress away from the process of building a home. For our Commercial projects, we’re accomplished at working directly with the client or with other architects to meet the project’s unique demands and fast track the end result.

Our Commercial projects can range from an early childhood centre to an aged care facility (and everything in between).
